Beginning in May, 2012, FLIP started a tradition of taking the Lopez elementary school kids to Fidalgo Pool for a day of swimming. Kids who don’t normally get the chance to swim love the opportunity – but this event most importantly shows the need for our Lopez kids to be safe in the water. Most children are not able to pass the swim test and need to stay in life vests in the shallow water. It is so important to touch the lives of our kids with a fun day – but most important is the need to teach our kids to swim!
